Greetings: God bless you. I got snagged by the default installation of gpm on one the two SS20s on which I installed potato/sparc today: X would not come up, as in http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-sparc-0004/msg00131.html , with a fix offered in http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-sparc-0004/msg00133.html .
I did this, and it still would not work, until I deleted, by hand, since dselect purge did not, /dev/gpmdata and /etc/gpm.conf. Then, after exiting X, I saw: "Cannot open /dev/gpmdata, error 2. Trying /dev/sunmouse". I suppose I could make it look directly for /dev/sunmouse, if I knew what configuration file it's using. I looked for it in /etc/X11/XF86Config, but that file doesn't exit, even though there is a link to it: # ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config .... /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config -> /etc/X11/XF86Config I'm considering filing a wishlist BR so that gpm is not selected by default during installation. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-729-5387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home phone on request) http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan RE: xmailtool http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan/xmailtool/index.html I am the "ILOVEGNU" signature virus.
